Proceeding contribution from Tony Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I should have thought that the name of Lord Carlile would have some resonance among Opposition Members. He is the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, and he said that there should not be a Dutch auction in Parliament on the numbers, which is exactly what is happening. He also said that"““as a maximum three months is probably a practicable and sensible option, all other things being equal.””" Is that not a judgment to which we should give considerable weight?
